Xenon Arc Lamps
PE175B-10F and PE175B-10UV
CERMAX® FOCUSED
XENON ARC LAMPS
Description
The Cermax® xenon arc lamp is an innova-
tive lamp design in the specialty lighting
industry. These lamps were introduced in
the early 1980’s and are now used in endo-
scopes in most major hospitals worldwide,
in high brightness projection display sys-
tems, and for a wide variety of other high
performance applications.
The PE175B-10F and PE175B-10UV
Cermax® lamps have an integrated elliptical
reflector, enabling high intensity, focused
output of ultraviolet, visible, and infrared
radiation. With their internal reflector and
rugged ceramic body construction, Cermax®
lamps are the safest and most compact alter-
native to conventional quartz xenon lamps.
This makes them ideal for applications that
require a high degree of illumination control.
Current-regulated or power-regulated power
supplies with output ripples of less than 5%
are recommended. Single shot ignition
pulses are advised because radio frequency
starters may damage the lamps internal
reflector.
In addition to lamps, PerkinElmer
Optoelectronics manufactures Cermax® arc
lamp power supplies, lamp holders, OEM
lighting systems, and fiber optic light
sources.
